My energy is endless...... Ha~~

Speaking of Sindra, Josh can't help but recall the torment of being dominated by the voice of this "big sister".

However, there will always be a big difference between reality and impression, and this is also true of Sindra today.

Sindra wore a white tunic with loose sleeves, the hem of which was tucked into purple-blue trousers inlaid with gold lace, the crotch showed white skin, and the loose fabric swayed with the long snow-white hair that fell from the waist, accompanied by the fading wind of magic.

A wide red silk belt cinches from the inside of the garment and ties it behind the back, and the glittering pink and white orbs are woven into shapes of various sizes by strings and adorned with Syndra's slender waist, slender white neck, and wrists.

Looking down further, the pair of round and full toes were dyed pink and purple slender jade feet sandwiched between flat clogs with cork soles, and the whole person's style of dressing up at first glance was quite like the soul lotus flower that Josh was familiar with.

Well...... Although the footsocks are gone, this image is always much stronger than the thunderous shape of the "Dark Monarch".

Just as Josh was secretly pondering, Lunicia couldn't help but be surprised and said: [This guy...... What a magical power! 】

There was a bit of caution in her voice, [Is she really a human being, isn't she a god in human form? 】

"Can you feel it?"

Josh's gaze stayed on Sindra, her eyes faintly flashing with the blue of the arcane arts, sensing the majestic magic that came from her...... Far from being able to compare with oneself without using the runes of the transcendent world.

[Nonsense! I thought you were ...... with an apprentice No, it's time to call Uncle Purple Skin, I originally thought that the magic talents of the two of you were invincible in the world, but I didn't expect that there would be someone stronger than you! 】

[Fortunately, the strength in this girl's body has reached a balance, well......] Lunihia sighed heavily, [I can't imagine how terrifying it would be if all her strength was transformed into the power of negative emotions. 】

Josh was silent.

He still knows about Sindra's past in the original worldline.

When she was a child, Sindra was just an innocent little girl who loved to wander and was not attentive enough, and she was often scolded by her mother or sarcastic by her brother because of this.

In such cases, Sindra would usually whisper for hours in front of her "secret base", the willow, which is worshipped by the villagers as a sacred tree.

Until one day, Sindra's brother and his companions followed her, laughing at Sindra, and even throwing a large lump of mud at her head.

It was the first time that Sindra had shown her talent for spiritual magic far beyond the world's knowledge.

The shiny black magic balls with anger condensed, and the black magic rushed like a monstrous wave, almost instantly drowning this little girl who was only a few years old.

The magic drained the life force of the willow, and the Sindra family, who became the target of public criticism, were naturally ashamed, and while fearing Sindra's power, they searched for a new place to live.

Of course, the butterfly effect causes everything Josh knew to come to naught, and can only be used as a reference for Syndra's actual powers, not as a substitute for her actual experience.

This is the first time Josh has known that Ahri and Sindra have become good sisters, so he doesn't know what happened to her.

However, seeing that the spiritual magic in her body was in balance, Sindra probably did not meet the mentor who was interested in guiding her to dissipate her own power, which caused her to completely go out of control and go berserk, and even attracted the will of Ionia itself to suppress her.

Has Ahri changed so many things......

Mental communication with Lunithia was only for a moment, and while Josh pondered, Sindra opened her mouth to talk to Ahri:

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and it's been half a year, right? You fox doesn't know how to go back to Ionia to see me...... Hanging out with those old antiques, not to mention how boring it is. ”

Sindra's voice has a girlish crispness and ability, but the tone of her voice to Ahri is like that of a mature big sister.

Although Josh doesn't know how old Sindra is, there's no way she's older than Ahri.

And now, as if in front of Sindra, Ahri, who has lived for more than a thousand years, is the little sister.

"Eh~~ Although my people only care about research, it's a little boring, but aren't there so many young people in the Sentinel Sanctuary there? You're two hundred years old, haven't you found the right man yet? ”

Is Sindra two hundred years old......

Josh was surprised.

Lunicia sensed Josh's thoughts and said, "What's so strange about this? There are not a few who extend their lifespan through magic, especially the ever-changing spiritual magic ......]

[It's just that a human being who has lived for so long and can maintain youth like her, I really haven't seen it.] 】

In reality, Sindra was a little mad because of being exposed to Ahri's age, "Stinky fox! Don't talk about my age! ”

She tried to catch Ahri, but she was not as dexterous as Ahri and was easily dodged.

"There are no outsiders here, who is not older than you among the few people present?" Ahri chuckled and looked back at Josh.

Ruiz is about the same age as Ahri, and because of the world runes, he has extended his lifespan for an unknown amount of time.

Gwen is at least a thousand years old if you count the Muppet Doll period with memory fragments.

Josh is still a little younger, even if the time spent in the gap between time is still, counting every minute and second spent, he is more than two hundred years old, a little older than Sindra.

If time were to go by in reality, Josh would be the same age as Ahri and Rhy.

"When I went to Bilgewater to buy the Holy Stone weapon, I was going to Shadow Island to investigate the reason for the early arrival of the Eclipse Night, but something unexpected happened."

"Even if you have a conscience and know how to write me a letter, otherwise I would really worry about your accident."

Sindra followed Ahri's gaze to Josh, and the faint smile that had appeared because she saw her good sister suddenly disappeared, and she reverted to the temperament of a cold royal sister as if there was an iceberg across it.

Her pink-purple fluorescent eyes looked Josh up and down, raising her eyebrows slightly, "You're Josh?" Josh Russell? ”

With that, she walked straight to Josh, but the gasping Ruiz took the lead and hurried up to Josh with a complicated expression.

Sindra had a disgruntled look on her face, "Hey, you old fellow! Obviously, I came first. ”

"After all, they haven't seen each other for a thousand years...... Well, just for Ruiz. ”

In front of Josh, Ahri did not show the depression caused by the previous quarrel with Ruiz, and still maintained a smiling appearance.

"Let's talk to me first, we haven't whispered in a long time."

Ahri waved to Gwen, who was still stunned by Josh's side, beckoning her to come to her side, and said at the same time, "What about my mom and dad?" Why didn't they teleport with you? ”

Sindra showed helplessness, "They? They said they hated arcane teleportation that wasn't a fixture, so they had to come in a carriage. ”

“……”

Ahri and Sindra talk about their parents' shortcomings and what has happened to them in recent times.

Ahri also focused on introducing Gwen to Sindra.

Cuteness can be described as killing both men and women, and Sindra immediately fell in love with this energetic girl and started talking to her.

On the other side, old friends meet, and Josh and Ruiz look at each other for a long time.

Eventually, Josh took the initiative and hugged Ryze tightly, like his long-lost biological brother...... This is almost true.

The two parted, and Josh lightly hammered Ryze's chest, and was the first to speak: "You have changed so much, you are much thinner than you were a thousand years ago." ”

"You haven't changed a bit, uh......" replied Ruiz, scratching at his bare head, "it's just gray hair." ”

"Your bald head is much better than your previous hairstyle."

The two looked at each other silently, and then laughed very tacitly.

Josh's temperament is still exactly the same as in a long vague memory, and he has not been affected by the world runes, and the slight wariness that Ruiz had subconsciously had gradually let go.

In the Land of Runeterra, few people can be regarded as friends by Ruiz, and a single slap can be counted.

On the one hand, due to responsibility and age, Ruiz is used to seeing too many life and death, so he rarely opens his heart to outsiders.

On the other hand, it is the responsibility to collect and seal the runes of the world.

Ahri is counted as one, but this fox has grown too much, and he still needs to take care of the overall situation.

In some ways, Ryze and her philosophy often diverged.

Sindra can barely count...... If she could change her poisonous tongue, Ruiz would be happy to talk to her.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

There is also a mage from the Freljord tribe to talk to, and Ryze once saved his tribe from the icefield trolls, even allowing him to leave a World Rune Fragment behind to protect his people.

But as of now, the two have not seen him again for decades.

Compared to them, Ruiz actually prefers to communicate with Josh, a senior brother.

Even if it's just sitting at the table with a light beer and chatting about past experiences.

"Where did you go after the Great War?" Ruiz asked.

"It's a long story, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while." Josh shook his head and smiled, "Why don't we go back to the city and have a light ale...... I remember that you loved light beer the most, but at that time you had not yet held a coming-of-age ceremony, and Master would not allow you to dip a drop. ”

Ruiz smiled bitterly, "Don't mention that trivial old story. ”

When he was still in Helia, because Tyrus refused to teach him rune magic, Ruiz cursed Tyrus behind his back.

But when the world runes broke out and Tyrus died in what should have been an innocuous friction between the tribes, but in the end it turned into a collision of the world's rune powers, and Ruiz knew that he still had deep feelings for this master in his heart.

"I'd love a light beer and a good night's sleep, that's what I want to achieve...... But my duty does not allow me to do that. ”

Reze tugged on the belt on his shoulder, connected to a stack of curly scrolls behind him, and Josh could feel the power of the remaining world runes on it.

It was a scroll that the former Sentinels of Light ventured to find from the Hammerstone Vault of the Honkai Prison, which recorded the methods used by Helia's predecessors to locate the world runes and seal the world runes.

The World Rune Fragments that were originally stored in the vault were collected by the previous rune mages from other places.

Rhyz didn't say anything further, but Josh could easily tell what he meant from the depths of his purple-blue eyes, which had been affected by the runes of the world.

"You kid...... Do you want to do this when you first meet? "Josh didn't have a good air.

"One person can't hold this power for a long time." "I just hope that our tragedy will not be repeated. ”

At this time, Ahri came over and interjected, "You can rest assured that Josh is here." ”

She was standing next to Josh, followed by Sindra and Gwen.

The four of them confronted the "weak" Ruiz, which actually put a certain amount of pressure on the old mage to some extent.

"Power changes everyone!" "I think it's better not to move some rocks." ”

"Pedantic thoughts, what is the difference between you and the Helia Masters and Elders from a thousand years ago?"

Ahri's voice was no longer calm, and there was a faint mixture of anger.

"If you had seen Josh fight the Ruined King more than half a month ago, would you still say such things?"

Ruiz was silent for a moment, "I don't know what happened at the time......"

"So don't jump to conclusions!" Ahri was visibly annoyed, and scolded: "We have already discussed this issue before!" Don't you still want to quarrel with me? ”

"Ahri ......"

As soon as Josh spoke, he was immediately interrupted by Ahri's sideways glare: "Don't interfere, it's between me and Ryze." ”

"But we have to take good care of them." Ruiz lowered his voice, "All." ”

"And that was after we settled the Shadow Isle issue." Ahri crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Do you think it's safe to seal the world runes in the unattended underground of Demacia, or is it safe to put it on Fuguang Island, which is surrounded by holy mist and cannot be entered by outsiders?" ”

Ruiz frowned slightly, silent.

Back during the Rune Wars, the way they sealed the world's runes was very simple and crude:

Use the Forbidden Stone to create a box that shields the overflow of magical energy, then seal it at the edge of the world, away from the place of war.

Most of the seals were in the Newborn Lands, guarded by a portion of the Helia mages, while a few remained in the Sentinel Sanctuary of the Sea Cliffs of Haven.

It turns out that they are on the wrong track.

The Helia mages later set out to end the war with the World Runes, and Ahri and Rhyz realized that they had been bewitched by power.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

It wasn't until the establishment of Demacia that the scholars of the architectural school of Hailia worked with the Demacians to hollow out the largest Forbidden Tree fossil in the center of the Forbidden Stone Forest, and built the Forbidden Stone Hall there, which was dedicated to storing the world runes.

Of course, in order to avoid the leakage of news of the world's runes, Ahri and the then king of Demacia did not let any relevant written records be handed down, only oral transmission between generations of kings.

"We've already agreed, haven't we?" Ahri asked, "We will completely solve the Curse of Ruin, rebuild Fuguang Island, and then transfer the world runes...... With the protection of the Holy Mist, it is far more reliable than the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest. ”

She paused for a moment, "I suppose you, as a rune mage, should know better than me about the structure of the Forbidden Stone, right?" The world runes are spilling out energy all the time, even if it is that forbidden demon stone forest, how much magic can it withstand?

"Some of the World Runes have been stored there for hundreds of years, and they even contain the foundational stones that destroy the world...... How many more centuries do we have? Don't you want to wait until you collect all the runes and blow Demacia into the sky? ”

"Dissipate your anger, why bother with this pedantic old man?"

Sindra patted Ahri on the back and glanced at Ryze faintly, "Some people always say that others are not worthy of this responsibility, but in fact, it is just to fulfill their own equally twisted obsessions. ”

Her words can be said to be straight to the point that Ruiz has strengthened his belief for thousands of years.

Ruiz, who was already angry because of Ahri, sat down directly and shouted at Sindra, "You don't understand anything at all!" ”

"I don't understand?"

A mocking smile tugged at the corners of Syndra's lips, and she walked around Ahri to Josh's side, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"There is a person next to me who has used world runes, and you who have never even used world runes, can you compare to him?"

Gwen, who had been listening to the quarrel, was full of anxiety, but she couldn't interject, so she had to bite her pale lower lip and tangle her two small hands tangled in front of her.

And Josh, who was unknowingly suddenly involved in a dispute, was also speechless, and didn't know what to say.

When it comes to the use of world runes, he's bound to clash with Ryze.

Ruiz opened his mouth, clenched his left hand into a fist, and his right hand was very restless and tugged at the belt on his chest, without making a sound, and the whole person looked a little agitated.

In the end, this fleeting disagreement ended with Ryze's weakness: "Okay, okay......"

It's just another break of the oath, I have allowed Yagu to keep the world rune fragments, what about the senior brother who will not be corrupted by the world runes at all?

Ruiz let out a long sigh, and then looked directly at Ahri, "When are we going to Shadow Isle?" ”

Ahri glanced at Ruiz coldly, "Now you know you're in a hurry?" ”

"Runemages must keep running." "There are still a lot of world runes that I need to find. ”

"Cut, boring." Sindra rolled her eyes, crossed her hands around her chest and staggered her gaze, looked into the distance, and muttered, "If you had asked us to help earlier, the world runes would have been found long ago." ”

Ruiz's eyebrows furrowed, but she didn't want to talk to Syndra anymore.

"There's no urgency in the Isle of Shadows." Ahri took Josh's hand, "Josh's body hasn't recovered yet, and in two days, we'll go to Xiongdu to meet King Gawain III." ”

"Hmm......" Ruiz let out a long breath of air, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he wasn't satisfied with Ahri's answer.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm looking out for the big picture...... You don't want too many people dying while you're cleaning up those cursed undead, do you? ”

Ahri paused for a moment and continued, "Also, we need to discuss what to do with Foyego's soul. ”

Push a big guy's book, the speed thief is fast! (I shouldn't have pushed it before, right?) I forgot)
